ASSIGNMENT 28
Time Signatures II - Revision
So that we do not end up with the one long
continuous piece of music, we have Time
Signatures to help us out.
They help us to stay “in time” and make it easier
easier to count our note values.
You will find your time signature just next to yo
your treble clef like this:
You will notice that there is no line in between the 2 numbers, because it is not a
fraction and should not be written in the same way.
Also, you might have noticed that we do not need to write a line in between them
because the 3rd line of the stave does that for us already.
The top number of the time signature tells us how many “beats there
are in a bar.” So of course in this time signature there are 4 beats in
every bar.
This means that when my chosen notes reach
the value of 4 added together, I would draw a
bar-line
For Example:
From the treble clef
to this point adds up
to 4 beats, so this
line marks the end of
the first bar
At the end of any piece of music, we
have a double bar line to show it has
finished. This is always a thin line
followed by a thick line.

ASSIGNMENT 38
Rests II - Revision
What we have dealt with so far are the values of sound.
Because it is important that each bar adds up to the time signature, we also have
values for silence.
We have rests in music that mean we play nothing for the length of the rest.
NOTE: If a 4 beat note is known as a semibreve, then a 4 beat rest is also known as a
semibreve rest! “SOUND” “SILENCE”
Semibreve
4 beats
Minim
2 beats
Crotchet
1 beat
Quaver
½ beat
Semiquaver
¼ beat
In the same way we can add a dot to a note, we can also add a dot to a rest.
When we add a dot, it does the same job – it adds on half the original value.
S2 Homework Workbook pg. 24
1. Match up the notes with the rests of the same length – draw a line from the
note to the appropriate rest.
2. How many beats are there in each rest?
3. Draw an appropriate rest to match the number of beats printed below.
